the TRUTH is that the "whole thing" was "made up out of whole cloth" as a CLUMSY attempt by the "crowd of thugs, cheap politicians & nitwits" (which comprised "the lincoln MAL-administration") to try to besmirch the reputation of the CSA in Europe. the attempt was a FLOP. (only DUMB-bunnies & the ignorant believed them after the truth started coming out from persons who were THERE on both the US & CS sides, as well as the "foreign observers")
just the report of one of the "foreign serving officers", CPT Lourdes F. Compania of the Royal Spanish Guards, to his commanding general makes your opinion look SILLY.
CPT Compania stated that:
Anyone who would be deceived by the ridiculous & ill-conceived web of untruths told by the newspapers & the Union's High Command is INCOMPETENT to serve in any military forces. (NOTE: no quotation marks, but this is CLOSE to an exact quote from Compania's report.)
as i said earlier, you should turn off your computer, go to the library & LEARN the UN-comfortable truth that you (and many others like you) have been deceived.

Why would a Spanish observer in the Civil War be named Lourdes?
‘there was NO massacre.’
Thats simply not true. Only 20% of the black soldiers ‘survived’ as compared to 60% of the caucasian soldiers.
Letters and diaries from CSA troops confirm that many of the black soldiers fell to their knees and begged for mercy, only to be instructed to stand up...at which point they were ‘gunned down’.
Pretending this didn’t occur is simply ridiculous.
